Employment Type: Full-time
Company Overview
Nano IS Western Cape (Pty) Ltd builds and supports Microsoft Power Platform solutions that power Nano Fibre UK's fibre-to-the-home rollout. We engineer and extend Power Apps, Dataverse schemas, Power Automate flows, Power Pages portals, Power BI dataflows--and integrate with SQL Server, Azure services and custom C# components--to equip our installation engineers, finance, H&S, fleet and storeroom teams, and customer service staff with the tools they need every day. As we mature our platform, you'll help formalize our governance, CI/CD pipelines and API-driven integrations (including webhooks, custom connectors and RESTful services).
Role Overview

• Power Automate flows (scheduled, instant and event-driven) with HTTP/Webhook triggers, custom connectors and API consumption
• Power Pages portals and SharePoint Online integrations for internal dashboards and external service portals
• Power BI reports, dataflows, DAX models and direct SQL Server/Azure Synapse queries for real-time operational analytics

Your work will ensure reliable data ingestion (via Power Query dataflows, Azure Data Factory or SSIS), robust automation between systems, and high-quality reporting--all while we establish best practices around environments, solution ALM (Azure DevOps/Git), security roles, and scalable solution patterns.
